The Presidents Danger.

WASHINGTON, d. c., March 21.-
DIR. q. T. Sewers, one of the most
prominent physicians of Washington,
in an interview with a reporter today,
declared that there is danger that
President Cleveland will not live
through his term unless there is a
change in his mode of living. DR..
Sow ers, six months before Mr.. Man
ning's illness. made the same predic-
ton with regard to the Secretary,
and advised friend to warn him of
his danger.
In the interview to-day DIR. Sewers
says: ut may be deemed imperti-
nent to talk to the President through
a newspaper man, but l know of no
other way of reaching him so surely.
You recall my attempts with the
friends of Mr.. Manning and their
fruit. and | do not feel that l should
take the same chances in this matter.
I am personally apprised of the Pres
ident's condition and while it is in no
sense dangerous it will not be long
before there will be reason for alarm.
President Cleveland is a large, feshy
man and since he came to the White
House has gained enormously in flesh.
Now, when he lived in Buffalo it was
his habit to take long walks. Since
he has come here, however, he has
abandoned every form of exercise
save carriage riding. That is of little
or no use with the springs now in
use and the smooth streets for which
Washington is famous.
1.-THE President is man who works
with his head great deal; he is, in
fact, an intense brain worker. He
is, in other words, plodder, and his
brain is consequently filled with
blood. What is the result? He works
with his head, eats enormously and
fails to exercise his muscles; his blood
vessels are weakened, and it is only
question of time when. in moment
of excitement, he bursts blood yes
sci. / tell you, at the rate President
Cleveland is now living. there is great
danger that he will not live through
out his term. Something should be
done to bring him to realize his dam
ger and take the proper steps to pre-.
vent the result which will surely en-
sue, if he fails to take proper exercise.
What / should recommend would be
the fixing up of room in the White
House. and the setting apart of halt
an hour every day for gymnastic ex-
ercise, That alone, in my opinion,
will prevent catastrophe. the avoid
ance of which not only the President.
but the whole country at large, is in
terested in securing"

WASHINGTON, d. c., March 49,
Senator Beck said to-day. in CONVEX.

or two other friends, that an early

financial stringency and probable
panic are to be averted. He had

matter, he said, and was convinced
that at the rate money was pouring

A Little Talk with the Moon.

Hartford Times, March 5.
1t is singular why people who are
usually kind and sensible should be-
come angry at honest differences of
opinion when under mutual discus
sion. Emerson once said that he
"never allowed himself to enter into
controversy with anybody" But
Emerson, unlike ordinary people,
could rest serenely on this intention,
having an outlet for his ideas in his
books, behind when he could fire his
orthodox bullets, hitting an ortho-
dox, unretaliating world that seldom
came in personal contact with him.
And If all persons made up their
minds never to argue, society would
come to standstill.
In meeting with violent opposition
myself, l always wish to think of the
moon or rather one particular con-
versation it once held with me,
though am sure to forget it when
excited and angry. which is sorrow
and modification afterward since it
took so much trouble to teach me
better. Ii happened in this way. l
never knew much about the laws Of

Cure for Consumption.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, March 49,
AT the meeting of The Hospital Com
mittee of the Board of Guardians Of
the Poor to-day, DR.. 7. N, McLaugh-
lin, Physician.in-Chief of the PhiIa-
delphia Hospital. presented a report
of the success of the treatment adopt
ed about month ago for patients in
the institution suffering from con.
sumption. He said that 50 far the
success of the treatment was almost
marvellous, and in the cases which had
agreed to submit to the methods
adopted no other had been used.
DIR. Mclaughlin first obtained the
idea from paper read before the
College of Science at a recent meeting
in Paris hy one of the professors OF
the University of Lyons. 1t recon-
mende6 so mighty and has shown such
surprising results in France that DR..
Mclaughlin decided to test it in the
hospital. He explained the treat
ment to the patients when thirty of
them agreed to submit To the opera
ton. To these patients, who were
considered to be suffering from the
last stages of consumption, TWO rectal

pared ny the process given by the

ed. The patients at once began to
show signs CT improvement. The
night sWeats ceased AS if hy magic,
the al most constant pains from which
they suffered, vanished, the excte-
tons of the body were regular and
became natural End the appetite re-
turned. The sick grew bril- liter and
stronger each day and since the be-
ginning of the treatment one of lie
number has gained twelve pounds in
weight while others has gained from
three to five pounds IN the same
time.
How far the improvement will con
tinue under the treatment cannot yet
be Judged, hut the results have been
so satiSfa tory that DR.. Mclaughlin
has abandoned all other remedies in
the treatment of patients who can he
induced to submit to the operation,
and he is so agreeahly surprised at the
results that he feels almost ready to
say that cure for consumption,
which has always been considered
fatal when once developed, has been
found.

ton fails to deal adequately with the
question of taxation of corporate
property within the State. which has
now grown to be such an important
matter, seems alone to be sufficient
cause for q new and more effective
organic law which shall deal thor
oughly with this question. 1t IS
highly important matter with the
farmer that the rich corporations OF
the State, which are growing annu-
ally more and more wealthy ana
arrogant. should have to assume their
just and proper share of the burdens
of taxation. because this will bring
corresponding relief to the agricul
tural lands, upon which the burden
now rests so heavily.
The present judiciary system also,
which was adopted as an experiment
by the last constitutional convention,
has proved to be not well adapted to
a pEOpCL uuIIlllOtIdtiOh Va JNoNiNS'
The close relation and partial iden-
tity of the appellate court and the
circuit courts, which is the charac-
teristic feature of the present judi
ciary system. is essentially wrong.
and tends to obstruct and complicate
the administration of the laws. This
system has been condemned in other
States in which it once existed, and
its faulty operation led to its repeal.
The uniform opinion among lawyers
and others capable of forming an
opinion on the question is that every
State should have an appellate court
entirely independent of and distinct
from the county courts, The judi
ciary system. which is the most inn
portant department of the legal ma
chinery of the State, will, therefore,
come in for an essential remodeling
at the hands of the constitution
makers. There are also many other
questions of lesser magnitude which
will require to be provided for in the
new constitution"
